Back during the Quickish Era, my favorite thing was the year-end
"best-of" sportswriting list -- the first one was in 2011 ("Quickish 11
for '11"), and it proved pretty popular...not to mention enjoyable to prepare.

You can't find that original list anymore, but the tradition lives on in
'14. And the underlying sentiment extends into another year:
Sportswriting has never been better.

To be sure: "14" is an absurd, artificial constraint; there are many
more worthy entries*, as my overworked browser tabs and gut-busting
Pocket account indicate.

Still, here are 14 of my favorite pieces of sportswriting this year -- listed alphabetically by author.
